Hello,
I am a relative newcomer to Linux and recently watching the kernel lists. FWIW, I have a quad Pentium 100 HP netserver that will panic kernel 2.2.x and 2.4.x (last checked with 2.4 test9) when bios APIC is turned on. I know this is not related to what your talking about, and that these are probably rare systems, but I thought I would let you know.
Thanks, Bruce H.

Seems reasonable enough.
